Actors and Story:
Tuwang-tuwa ako sa concept ng show dahil sa mga movie references. Sabi nga nila, ginaya lang daw to sa Thai BL na "Theory Of Love" pero ayon sa creator na si Juan Miguel Severo, hindi daw at malayo ang istorya nina Vlad at Karl kina Third at Khai (Theory Of Love) kung saan friends to lovers pero ito ay strangers na mapipilitang magsama sa isang bahay.

Sa totoo lang, kung storyline pag-uusapan, malayong malayo naman talaga to sa "Theory of Love". Pero kung dahil lang sa mga movie references, duh, "Theory Of Love" lang ba naunang gumawa ng movie references? So, ano nalang ung "Stranger Things"? Mas nauna pa un sa "Theory Of Love" na 2019 lang un, samantalang 2016 pa ang "Stranger Things". CLICK HERE to see the list of Stranger Things movie references.

Happy Birthday [2018]

May 31, 2020

Cast:


Actors and Story:
The saddest birthday to have when your own sister committed suicide on the day you were born. The "why's" would be your bestfriend.

No wonder Pluem won best supporting actor in this series because he is good. But my question is, why support? Isn't he the lead actor? I'm confused!


Favorite Character:
Tonmai played by Purim Rattanaruangwattana (Pluem)
Uncle Tai played by Sorapong Chatree - his character played more a real father. He love Thannam as his own.


Favorite Scene:
Episode 6, the reveal of Thannam's education. It's just sad to think that your own parents can't support you of having a dream to finish your studies without even trying. Why not try first before giving up?


Attracted To The Following Actors:
Purim Rattanaruangwattana (Pluem) as Tonmai

Puttichai Kasetsin (Push) as Tee

Plustor Pronpiphat Pattanasettanon (Plustor) as Tee [Young]

Who Are You [2020]



May 30, 2020

Cast:
Namtan Tipnaree Weerawatnodom (Namtan) as Meennara (Meen)/Manita (Mind)
Perawat Sangpotirat (Krist) as Natee/Na
Kay Lertsittichai as Gunkan/Gun

Actors and Story:
My easy top series as of the moment. If this is just an adaptation of a Korean drama, then I must say, the original must be very good as well. I wish, the Korean version of this will be available in YouTube as well so that I could watch it.

The way they presented each episode is so exciting and it will make you want to watch the next episode right away. The next thing you know, you already watch the entire series without knowing it.

The actors are so good as well. Specially Tida (played by Ployshompoo Supasap a.k.a. Jan). You wanna slap her and drag her face to the mad to satisfy your hatred for her.


Favorite Character:
Gun (played by Kay Lertsittichai) - He's the kind of ally you want to be on your side. He'll protect you no matter what. He got family problem of his own but still very respectful to the people who shows support to him. He acts like a brat to his father but deep inside he just want his little attention. A simple dinner with him become a dream already.


Favorite Scene:
When Mind got back her memories and hug her adoptive Mom at the back. So heartbreaking to watch. Saying goodbye were never be easy.

My Bromance [2014]

May 29, 2020

Cast:
Teerapat Lohanan (Fluke) as Golf
Natouch Siripongthon (Fluke) as Bank


Actors and Story:
I can easily think of "Addicted (Heroin) series" in a different way simply because they're both product of a blended family. Although with a very different story because in "Addicted (Heroin)" they're more destined to each other, they fall in love first before they knew that they're part of the blended family while here in "My Bromance" the love for each other were developed over time.

Before knowing the actor, I really think that Bank looks like Fluke (Natouch Siripongthon) who played Pharm in "Until We Meet Again", only to find out that he really is Fluke. The heck. He looks very different back in the days. But still, his cuteness and acting skills made me cry for the second time. Good job.


Favorite Character:
Bank played by Natouch Siripongthon a.k.a. Fluke
Golf played by Teerapat Lohanan a.k.a. Fluke


Favorite Scene:
At the park on Bank's birthday.


Attracted To The Following Actors:

Love’s Coming [2014]


May 28, 2020


Cast:
Suttinut Uengtrakul (Tee Mild) as Gump
Norrapat Sakulsong (Pak) as Nai
Korn Khunatipapisiri (Aujun) as Zee
Chanon Santinatornkul (Non) as Pid
Suraphat Kirivichien (Guy) as Arm


Actors and Story:
A group of high school boys suspected that Gump (played by Tee Mild) is in love or in a relationship with another boy. They set up with ways to prove the secret affair. Things got complicated when Nai (played by Pak)'s ex girlfriend showed up in the picture.

I really can't feel the chemistry of the two main actors, Tee Mild and Pak. I don't know why. I just can't feel them that they're in love. Bad acting skills or simply no chemistry, whatever it is, I'm just disappointed with the pairing.


Favorite Character:
Zee played by Korn Khunatipapisiri (Aujun)


Favorite Scene:
When Zee comforted Gump.

2 Moons: The Series [2017] | 2Moons2 [2019]

April 26, 2020

Cast:
Itthipat Thanit a.k.a. God [S1] & Benjamin Brasier [S2] as Phana Kongthanin (Doctor Pha)
Suradet Piniwat a.k.a. Bas [S1] & Teerapat Ruangritkul a.k.a. Earth [S2] as Wayo Panitchayasawad (Yo)


As I've understand with the series explanation, Moon is a male freshman activity in the Universe representing the faculty (or in the Philippines we call it college), and the opposite of "moon" is the "star". Each Faculty Moon and Faculty Star will compete to be the next "Campus Moon and Campus Star". The way I see, it's like a beauty pageant. You need to have good looks to be considered Faculty Moon and Faculty Star.

I love this series especially the lead actor of season 1, Bas (playing Wayo). I find him super cute and innocent. He's super fit with the role of Wayo.


Actors and Story:
Bas' character Wayo is so innocent that you'll find him super cute. His facial expressions are so expressive specially with the scenes shared with Pha. Bas really fit the role very much.

For me, the story doesn't feel like college in Season 1. It felt like I'm in High School and having a first crush, first puppy love, kilig moments when he look at you and being hurt when he's with somebody else specially if they were rumored lovers.

However, in Season 2, since they changed all the actors of the important characters, and they re-created all the important scenes in season 1 with 12 episodes and compressed it to 4 episodes only, it doesn't feel like high school anymore. Season 2 does felt like a freshman student at the University. Maybe because of the actors? I don't know. Just the feeling. Season 2 is more mature specially how they evolved the love story of Beam (played by Woranart Ratthanaphast a.k.a. Dome) and Forth (played by Naret Promphaopun a.k.a. Pavel)


Favorite Character:
Wayo (played by Suradet Piniwat a.k.a. Bas [S1])
Baramee Vongviphan (Beam) (played by Woranart Ratthanaphast a.k.a. Dome [S2])


Favorite Scene:
First kiss of Wayo and Pha in season 1. I really felt it as if it was also my first kiss too. All the feels are being felt on that specific scene. The best kiss I've ever seen on any series or even on movies.


Attracted To The Following Actors:
Suradet Piniwat a.k.a. Bas (played Wayo [S1])

Sinong mag-aakala na ung pandemic na Covid19 na nagpipigil sa ating lumabas at makisalamusa sa mga tao kahit na sa mga kaibigan mo pa ay makagawa ng isang masterpiece gamit ang isang makabagong paraan sa paggawa ng pelikula. 

Kung si Selena Gomez nakagawa ng music videos gamit lamang ang iPhone, well, ang DreamScape gumawa lang naman ng movie ng walang production crew. Artista mo, sila na din ang cameraman, audio, lighting and make-up artist. Oops, of course with a little help from household help and family members.

Ang masasabi ko lang talaga, wala ng imposible ngayon. Di na excuse na wala kang means. Kailangan lang talaga meron kang idea, at concept, boom, kayang-kaya.


Actors and Story:
Bilib ako sa mga artista sa pelikulang to. Mahuhusay. Napatunayan na naman ni JM de Guzman kung gaano sya kagaling. Sa sobrang galing sya, gusto ko syang bugbugin sa inis sa character nya. Hahaha. Sabi nga nila, malalaman mo daw na mahusay ang artista sa ginampanan nyang role kapag affected ka sa kung anong ginagawa nya. Hands down!

Di ko lang maintindihan ang title, "Love Lockdown" pero parang wala namang love sa tatlong istorya. Or should I say, kung may love man, man nangingibabaw ung masamang pangyayari kesa love. Sana pinalitan nalang ng Lockdown, tinanggal na ang love.

Whatever, di importante ang title. Ang mahalaga na-entertain ako at very satisfied.


Favorite Character:
Darren (played by Tony Labrusca)
Bukod nakaka distract ang kapogian nya, parang ramdam mo ung totoo ung bitaw ng salita nya.

Attracted To The Following Actors:
Of course, Tony Labrusca! Wala ng iba.
